Dark mode

Tender work is screen work, and for many people the day stretches well past office hours. Dark mode has been one of the most requested things from you, and now it is here, across the whole app.

You choose between system, light and dark

The setting sits in the account menu in the bottom left and under Your profile. The two stay in sync, so you can switch wherever you happen to be, without hunting for the "right" place to do it.

Choose to follow the system and Cobrief changes along with your machine. Choose light or dark and it stays that way across sessions and any device you log in on. The whole app is covered: search, pipeline, tasks, calendar, bid rooms, market insights and the agent surface.

Documents are a deliberate exception. Tender documents, bid texts and templates keep a paper-white background even in dark mode, because that is how the text will actually look when it is submitted. You should never have to guess how a paragraph will read at the buyer's end.

We went through contrast and legibility in both modes along the way, rather than simply inverting the colours. Status colours, badges, tables, search highlights and form controls have their own values for dark backgrounds, and the borders around buttons and fields are strong enough to show where you can click. In a few places light mode got better from the same work: selected rows and card shadows are clearer than before.

Other improvements in this period

• User management

  The main menu can be pinned open, so you see the names of the menu items instead of just icons. The choice is remembered for next time.

• Proposals

  You can create a fill-in template straight from the bid room, instead of going via a task or the agent.

• AI agent

  If the workspace runs out of AI capacity you now get an explanation with the reset date and a way forward, plus a warning before you hit the limit.

• AI agent

  AI capacity is now enforced the same way across all AI features, not just in the chat.

• AI agent

  The agent uses Claude Sonnet 5 as its default model.

  Evaluation criteria are generated faster.
